It is best to plan ahead, especially when learning a new sport. We recommend over- planning for best results!

• Toddlers and adults should be dressed warmly and wear shoes with traction.

• Warm clothing includes sweats or leggings, layered underneath water-proof or

• Water resistant pants; sweatshirts and jackets; water proof or water resistant gloves or mittens; and socks that rise at least to mid-calf (no ankle socks).

• Adults will remain with their Toddler at all times. We provide Grip-Ons for Adults to wear over their shoes so that walking out on the ice is permitted and safe. We recommend Adults walk, not skate, during the one-hour Program. This is not a Parent and Me Program. If, however, the Adult is comfortable wearing ice skates and has prior skating experience, he/she may do so.

• Adults will be asked NOT to pick their Toddler up while on the ice. We provide buckets and other tools Toddlers may use for security and balance.

• Toddlers are encouraged to wear a helmet at all times. 

• Snoopy’s Home Ice does not provide helmets.

• Choose your child’s skate size wisely. Typically, the Toddler’s shoe size is a good indicator, though skates should fit snuggly. The smallest size we provide is a child’s 7. If this skate size is too large, we recommend layering two pairs of socks, as long as the pairs of socks are both to mid-calf and there are little to no seams. Skate laces will need to be laced all the way to the top of the boot. Our Staff and Coaches are available to assist with ice skates, as correct fit and comfort are essential to the Program, as well as part of the learning process.

• Adults may supply Toddlers dry snacks inside the Arena but please do not serve your Toddler outside food in the Warm Puppy Café. Food is also not allowed on the ice.

• Adults may bring a stroller – we have lots of room!

• Please plan to change diapers or training pants in the restroom behind the tree inside the Arena.
